Joules & Joulietta Hot Water Bottle Covers
|
|
It happens every year – the temperatures start to dip and the evenings get chilly, yet it seems too early in the year to be turning the heating on. That’s when you find yourself reaching for a hot water bottle with a cozy cover to make it more huggable.
The pattern includes two sizes: the Joules cover fits a standard-size hot water bottle, while the Joulietta is perfect when travelling or for a child’s bed. The covers feature a beautiful textural stitch which is easy to work so they knit up quickly. They are also worked seamlessly, so there is little finishing required after the knitting is completed. .
